Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Wadesville, IN.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Wadesville who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
